Starting at a Wood Fence in San Dimas

We started the San Dimas maternity photography portrait session at a rustic wooden fence surrounding by greenery and trees.

We absolutely love it when the sun peaks through the trees and leaves to add highlights and a warm glow is cast on our pregnant couple. Pregnancy photos always look nicer with that glow that reflects the mother-to-be.

Look how elegant she looks in that black maternity dress.

From a Black Maternity Dress to a Pink Maternity Dress

After the pregnancy photos in the black maternity dress, we switched to the pink maternity dress for something different.

We love how there is a stream here, though we made sure we gave her insect repellant (and one without deet)! This is one of the little gems of Walnut Creek Park.

San Dimas Maternity Photography

This is a great example of San Dimas pregnancy photos in Los Angeles County. We did the portrait session at the Walnut Creek Regional Park and Trail, which has trees, leaves, wood fences, and a serene stream. Our pregnant mother-to-be wore an elegant black maternity dress to start, and finished the session with a pink maternity dress. You can find more examples of our family and maternity photography with the color pink on our website.

Starting with Family Portraits of their Son

Look at that adorable face! We started with individual family portraits of their son to get the shoot started.

And here is the little guy with an umbrella.

The Bamboo Forest at the Cal State Fullerton Arboretum

One of our favorite parts of the CSU Fullerton Arboretum is the bamboo forest they have growing next to a small stream. It creates a unique and distinct look to the photos, along with it being fun for the little son to shake!

And here is the whole family in the bamboo forest.

There is also a small bridge going over the stream that makes for great family photos.

And whenever we get the chance we love to play with the fall leaves on the ground.

Family Photos at the Cal State Fullerton Arboretum’s Small Pond

There is a small pond in the center of the arboretum that has palm trees and other vegetation.

And the Orange Orchard

The toddler son was having a ball picking oranges straight from the tree in the orange orchard.

Cal State Fullerton Arboretum Family Photos

This is a family photography portrait session at the CSU Fullerton Arboretum. Cal State Fullerton is located in North Orange County, located along the 57 freeway. This family has one child (a son) and had their family portraits with a bamboo forest, streams, bridges, ponds, and lots of trees and greenery. There is no better natural setting for photos than an arboretum. This location is such a gem, it only requires a voluntary donation at the front entrance. We highly recommend leaving a donation to support such a great local resource and location. In the least, it’s a great garden to stroll around to clear your mind.

The Fullerton Arboretum requires a photography permit, so make sure you secure one if you plan a session. Know that it is basically a donation to an awesome place.

Starting the Maternity Photos with a Stuffed Toy

We started the pregnancy photos with a stuffed animal for their little baby girl.

Here are pregnancy photos of our pregnant mother holding a pink parasol umbrella, wearing a two-tone white and red maternity dress.

This serene and natural field surrounded by trees framed our loving couple perfectly.

Maternity Photos by a San Dimas Stream

We then took them to a nearby stream for more pregnancy photos. We always worry about the safety of our pregnant couples, so we brought a safe bug spray without deet.

Changing her Maternity Dress

And then we got more maternity photos next to a fallen tree or log. She switched her maternity dress to a more muted pink and turquoise dress.

And the name of the baby girl … ABBY! A convenient anagram for baby.

They also brought the printout of the sonogram as a prop for the maternity photography portrait session.

Maternity Photos San Dimas

This is a San Dimas maternity photography portrait session at Walnut Creek Park. Our pregnant couple brought lots of props and accessories, including a baby elephant stuffed animal, wooden blocks that spell the baby’s name (Abby), a printout of the sonogram, and a pink parasol umbrella. Our pregnant mother wore a two-tone white and red maternity dress for the first half of the session. For the second half, she switched to a pink and turquoise maternity dress. When changing outfits, we always recommend timing it correctly and accurately, since we’d rather be taking more pregnancy photos than waiting for clothing changes. More than one change during a session is not recommended due to time restraints. San Dimas is our hometown, and we offer discounted prices for sessions done here locally.

Please look around to see many more articles of maternity and family photography on our blog. We have all of our articles tagged and organized, so you can narrow down your searches, for example, to only photo portraits of pregnant families. Judy is great with capturing and working with pregnant mothers and families, especially since we have been pregnant ourselves (we have two beautiful daughters).

Starting the Pregnancy Photos in a field in San Dimas

We started the pregnancy photos in a small field surrounded by trees, a grove if you will.

Our pregnant mother wore a beautiful white lace maternity dress that very elegantly shows off her pregnant body. Judy personally knows what it feels like to have a changing body and knows how to help our mothers feel more comfortable with capturing that.

There is a lovely wooden fence at the park that helps with our scenic backgrounds.

More Maternity Photos at a Stream or Creek

We walked over to a nearby stream or creek bed for more pregnancy photos, getting the trickling stream and river rocks in the foreground.

We love the fallen trees to use as a foreground element, helping us frame our pregnant couple.

And the water was still enough to have a mirror reflection.

And just look at this fallen tree or log for our maternity photos.

Here is a maternity photo taken from above our pregnant couple.

San Dimas Pregnancy Photos

This is a San Dimas maternity photography session (also called a pregnancy photography portrait session) in Los Angeles County. We did the pregnancy photos in a local park, Walnut Creek Park and Trail in San Dimas. This is our hometown, so we actually offer discounted prices on family photography and maternity photography portrait sessions done in San Dimas or in the nearby towns of Glendora, Covina, La Verne, and Walnut.

Check around the rest of our blog for many more examples of our work. We took the time to tag and label every article, allowing you to see a session that is close to what you envision. For example, if you’d like to see more sessions that used a white color element, such as a white maternity dress, we have a page dedicated to jus that.
